I'm still hoping that someone will take my thought experiment
seriously. What I said was not complicated.

There are two rocks and they are both in motion relative to the
universe, but they are staionary with respect to each other. Assume
that they are accelerating. Call them Rock A and Rock B.

For both of these rocks, they could be regarded as being in a gravity
field, or they could be regarded as acceleration through space. Rock A
and rock B can be separated by ANY distance. If you test rock A and
find that it is accelerating then you have "spooky instantanoues
knowledge" about rock b. If you test rock A and find that it is in a
gravitational field then you have "spooky instantanoues knowledge"
about rock b.

And the laws of conservation of momentum, angular momentum, energy,
etc. hold true.

"Motion relative to the universe"???? The universe is everything,
including two rocks. Whether a rock is in motion or not depends
strictly on the point of view of an observer.

Let's be a bit more precise--assume two rocks.
With respect to each other:

x > 0
v = dx/dt = 0

and accelerating?

dv/dt ≠ 0

This seems to work that way.

Assumptions don't exert forces.
You have to be more specific:

Hello Rock A. Hello Rock B.
So nice to meet both of you. :-)

No they can't be regarded both ways because you
can be more specific about what you mean by
acceleration You want to be taken
seriously, remember?
